'P Is For Palestine' Children's Book Extolling Intifada Sparks Outrage in New York [on Golbarg Bashi]

A children's alphabet book titled "P is for Palestine" has had women from New York's Upper East Side up in arms over what they say is nothing more than anti-Semitic propaganda.

The book includes a line that says, "I is for Intifada, Intifada is Arabic for rising up for what is right, if you are a kid or grownup!"

Its author, Golbarg Bashi, a Pace history professor and former Rutgers Iranian-studies instructor, said at a bookreading over the weekend that she "came up with the idea for this book after I couldn't find a book about Palestine for children."

Jewish mothers lashed out at the author after she posted an ad for her book on a Facebook group called "UES Mommas."

Bryce Gruber-Hermon wrote, "Hey everyone! Let's talk about one of those intifadas! Real family members of mine were MURDERED. Innocent women who never carried a gun, knife, or anything more than a book. My husband has 2 bullets in his back from those intifadas you're justifying. If you think these are okay or fair or reasonable or just part of politics, you're flat out telling me my family deserves to be dead. You're not that bad of a person, are you?"
